Dry Shampoo: What Is It And How Does It Work?
Every once in a while, a hair product comes along and changes your life! Or at least your styling routine. For many women, dry shampoo has been that product.
Hairstylists agree that dry shampoo, while not a complete replacement for washing your hair, can be an asset to both men and women with hair of all colors and textures.
What is dry shampoo?

The truth is there are many reasons to use dry shampoo but be careful, some brands contain harsh ingredients that can irritate your scalp and work against you. With such a wide range of options available, choosing a dry shampoo that's friendly on both the scalp and wallet can be difficult.

Powered by Living Proof's Triple-Action Cleaning Technology - Fast-absorbing powders soak up oil and sweat while their patented Healthy Hair Molecule helps you remove the powders easily from hair, resulting in actually clean hair.

Stylist note: The best way to extend the life of any hairstyle is to stop touching your hair — we repeat — do not touch your hair. Even if you have applied dry shampoo, the natural oils in your fingertips will only make your hair greasy again.
